Y(3940),Z(3930), and theX(4160)as dynamically generated resonances from the vector-vector interaction

Abstract

We apply a unitary approach together with a set of hidden‐gauge Lagrangians to study the vector‐vector interaction. Concretely, we focus on the sector with quantum numbers charm C = 0 and strangeness S = 0 in the region around 4000 MeV. We get five poles, three of which could be identified with the Y(3940), Z(3930) and X(4160). These poles appear with quantum numbers I = 0 and JPC = 0++,2++ and 2++, respectively, and can be considered as hadronic molecules made of D*D*, Ds*Ds*, decaying to a pair of light vectors, light‐heavy vector or pseudoscalar‐pseudoscalar.
